“Everything, from the beef carpaccio to the marinated chicken to the ice cream to the BREAD was succulent, rich, and bursting with flavor. Most people believe restaurant week isn’t worth it anymore, and justifiably so - but it’s hard to imagine you’re going to find better cooking for $60.”

“Recently went to Crown Shy and it is actually terrible. Our food came out cold twice the server was running around like a chicken without a head. On top of that the food was ok at best”

“Crown shy is just a well executed new American restaurant. The food isn't mind blowingly creative. It's one of the cheapest Michelin 1 stars, so it's pretty accessible if someone says they want to go to a Michelin star place.”
